Decomodo Launched

1 person found this article interesting enough to chat about...

Decomodo So this past weekend I launched a new site called Decomodo (pronounced however you feel like).

It’s my little plot of intarweb real estate for me to post all the randomly sweetness stuff I come across day-to-day.

Basically, it’s the most awesome site you’ll ever see. Period.

Go visit Decomodo right now…or else!

Google AdWords “Technical Issue”…rrriiiggghhhttt

No one found this article interesting enough to chat about...

So for about 2 weeks now I’ve been exchanging emails with Google AdWords support trying to figure out why my ads weren’t running at all. Nothing. Zero. Zilch. No impressions. No clicks. Absolutely nothing.

Now, when I say “exchanging emails” I mean Google AdWords support sent 7 emails in 2 weeks all saying the exact same thing. That the ticket has been escalated to the “technical team” and they’ll get back to me in 2-3 days. So every 2-3 days they got back to me with the same email. Awesome.

Well apparently after escalating my ticket 7 times, the guy with some brains got a hold of it and got my account working again.

So…why was my account not running ads for 2 weeks?

“Your ad previously wasn’t running due to a known technical issue.”

Ah. Okay. THAT technical issue. The one where AdWords just doesn’t do it’s job and show any ads. Fantastic. Might wanna check in to that guys.
